Crowns and frowns

Crown: J School recording student perspectives that challenge Glenn Beck on health care reform.

Frown: Greenpeace reps panhandling students for monthly donations while spa representatives defy the barriers of social aptitude by asking students about their haircuts.

Crown: Apples from local farms are perfectly in season, delicious, bred by local student scientists, and for sale at the farmer’s market right outside the gates.

(C/F)rown: The Yankees clinched the division, won their 100th game of the year, and swept Boston all on one night. The world has found its natural order.

(C/F)rown: Boston will probably make it to the playoffs too. Perhaps there are still some things to iron out in that natural order.

Frown: Columbia football lost to Central Connecticut State.

Crown: We weren’t the only Ivy to take a big hit.

Crown: Tons of eager first-years running for CCSC.

Frown: Tons of seemingly impossible goals in their platforms.

Crown: Columbia posts a schedule for shuttle buses in the lobby of Lerner.

Frown: Where on earth (or at least on the Upper West Side) do the routes go? Maybe some maps would help?

Crown: Columbia defies its nerdy, dry reputation with merriment on the weekends.

Frown: Rumor has it that the class of 2013 has set a CAVA record (in unhealthy competition with Florida and Wisconsin).

Crown: Public Safety has been especially on top of its game. Thanks to them, students can appreciate the great outdoors of Morningside Heights (if Greenpeace would chill out for a while).

Crown: You can still drop a class that’s kicking your liberal arts-loving behind.
